Ruby Rose has apologized to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott for branding him a bigot on UK's only mainstream magazine for lesbians and bisexuals Diva last year.
"Orange is the New Black" Ruby Rose has had a change of heart on her feelings towards Tony Abbott. In a recent video interview for Details magazine, Rose told of her regrets at attacking the Australian leader and apologized making personal attacks. "Going head-to-head with the Prime Minister of my country a few years ago, I didn't mean to do it and I woke up and it was all over the news and it was like a very big deal - it was all over the papers. I'm sorry. It was about gay rights but it didn't need to get that big."
She was apologizing over the remarks she threw to Tony Abbot last year on his firm stance on same sex marriage rights. On that dialogue Rose attacked Abbott saying: "Don't get me started on gay rights back home! Our Prime Minister is a sexist bigot. So equality is going to take some time."
The stunning brunette, graced the cover of the glossy monthly at the time, kissing Phoebe Dahl the granddaughter of acclaimed author Roald Dahl. Tattoo-covered Ruby, who lives in Los Angeles, has long called for same sex unions to be recognised by law and took the opportunity to reiterate her views in the magazine. The couple became engaged in March 2014 after just weeks together.
She also tweeted in 2013 that Abbott was a drunk moron, saying: "You are like a drunk moron who spills out of a pub and spews on the ground. You are that spew. That spew is you."
The 28th Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is reportedly plotting to delay the same-sex marriage by planning for a public ballot taking place after the next election. However, according to some reports the Prime Minister Tony Abbott is mulling the idea of a plebiscite (referendum) on the issue instead.
